Expo EAS Build a project with a git submoulde - react-native

Question

I have an expo react native project which shares a common directory with a react web frontend. The common director is in src/common and it is a separate repository, and I use it in the react native project as a git submodule.
I was building fine, but I guess there was an update that broke my builds recently.
The build failes on the first line that is importing from the common directory.
Here is the relevant log from the build (Build Step: Run gradlew)
